This forum thread has been established to track ideas and discussion about:
2) How to grow the sport in Victoria - Trainers? Youth? Accreditation?
following a successful meeting held tonight for Windsurfing Victoria at Parkdale Yacht Club. There were a number of issues discussed wth the five main areas being:
1) Administration of WV - Incorporation?, Insurance? Membership?
2) How to grow the sport in Victoria - Trainers? Youth? Accreditation?
3) Event Ideas - Racing - Formula / Slalom / Speed / Retro / Wally / Fun / Supercross
4) Event Ideas - Wave / Freestyle / Expression / Supercross
5) Social Events and the Web Site

The meeting was a great forum but most likely there are many views, ideas and opinions yet to be voiced. Please utilise this thread to register your thoughts on the topic in bold above whether you are a member of WV, a Victorian windsurfer or from some other part of the country with a useful opinion.

There seemed to be a lot of frustration with RYA / AYF accreditation for training?? This warrants much discussion.

Ideas were to have a large get together for people to learn to windsurf once a year?
Could we have learn to windsurf sessions at all bay / flatwater events. Melbourne Cup weekend at Sandy Point could work when the wind's lighter. If an event starts with the afternoon wind at 2 O'Clock - could we have a learn to windsurf session from 11 til 1?

Also a suggestion of collecting people's disused gear and selling it off to learners at cheap prices and getting proceeds to go to WV.

Get schools involved near local beaches?

Can we publicise our events - get a radio station on board? Put some of their stickers on our sails at event? Red Bull? Report in local paper?

More ideas?
